A friend suggested me to read On the Road. Is it a good reading?
I absolutely love it, but I feel like you need to have been born at a certain time and place to appreciate it. I think you either love it or hate it. I think Truman Capote said "that's not writing, it's typing." I disagree.

What he wrote initially and what was published was different. Especially the names, and they cut out a bunch. Have you seen his scroll? Its epic!

Probably a photo years ago. I knew it was edited.

He would have had to use a typewriter for all of it. I just find that amazing!

I'm old enough to have submitted college papers that I typed!
